Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman became the first African fighter to claim UFC gold when he dethroned Tyron Woodley at UFC 235 in 2019. "The Nigerian Nightmare" says he's the most dominant and well-rounded welterweight on the planet, and it's hard to disagree.

@@MontyQueues most educated commentator but calls a lot of fights strange or biased
@@MontyQueues "most accurate", proceeds to claim Rhonda rousey could compete and kill people in the mens division, lmfaoo, no matter how educated or experienced he is, he still spits out dumb shit regularly.
Don’t know why people don’t like him he’s a great guy worked hard to get where he is and he’s a monster in the octagon
Because he’s from Nigeria and people will easily find reasons to dislike someone that is different
Mmp Adesanya is Nigerian and wears it with pride figuratively and literally on his whole chest Nigeria is there... Usman is a machine that could run through the whole division as well as Adesanya but Usman comes off quite like a poser like I think he’s a really nice and respectful guy and it comes off as a little cringey to a lot. Adesanya has a lot of character and I think is also a really nice dude but entertaining inside/outside the cage and makes people feel comfortable being themself
@@martinmp19 Adesanya is one of the most popular guys right now and Ngannou is ""different"" too but is very exciting and the fans like him. People just like to talk shit and was putting too much expectations on the Usman/Masvidal fight.
Because he's just not likeable but of course people will blame it on race when everyone loves Israel and Jon Jones. Same reason people didn't like Tyron, not likeable. But of course this is 2021 and EVERYTHING is about race. Fuck I can't stand the world I'm living in.

Bro before the Burns fight I would’ve disagreed w/ you ...... Burns landed a clean head kick & HE ended up on the ground, Usman walked straight thru it
@@shmoofgang exactly. with all the volume of punches Colby Covington threw at him, Usman wasn't wobbled once.
@kengee,tv No he is from okene in Kogi so he is igbira
I can't believe that mma fans forget how tough usman is just because he got ko in one night the man defeated tyron woodley while woodley was in his best prime knocks jorge masvidal out cold knocks out gilbert burns beats colby covington twice if not the goat. definitely he should be in the goat conversation
@@thegoat____564 you really think colby wouldve survived that round?
been a while since we have seen a title fight with two men so equal in skill. this will be phenomenal

I can't believe that Kamaru Usman - Journey to Champion was just uploaded a day ago and it doesnt feature the fight against Colby, nor against Masvidal. 15 Fights win streaks in a killer division is unreal no matter how you win. Give this Man the Respect he deserve for Real. CT
I wouldn’t say killer division at all. The welter weight division is one of the more shallow pool
Everyone disrespecting him calling him boring but he’s really not, look what he did to woodley and Covington 🤷🏾♂️ usman is a fuckin beast, I can’t wait for him to shut up everyone up Monday
For the first time I'm actually betting against him dont get me wrong i think he's great but I feel like burns just has his number its a horrible matchup. Burns has brutal striking and also a warrior spirit. And I feel like his striking will panic usman early and end up with him being choked into a submission. But I could be wrong. Not underestimating usman he might dominate in clinch
@@TH4_EO oof sir you make interesting points but can USMAN grappling game to the fence cause major problems to burns ?
No one is saying Usman is a bad fighter, they are saying he is a boring fighter. He had a close fight with Covington and mauled Woodly and Masvidal but that doesn't mean he is an exciting fighter to watch. Usman is a beast, but you would be lying to yourself if you say he is the most entertaining fighter in the ufc.
@@nedyah5254 bro that’s my problem with him he’s not entertaining in the Octagon and outside of it
I don't know how well usmans wrestling is gonna hold up against burns' jiu-jitsu though
The majority of people calling him boring are salty Colby fans or Masvidal fans.
Nope, just a random UFC fan who hates Colby from the heart, doesn’t care much about Jorge, and still thinks Usman is boring, here.
Colby is a fake. He almost got thrown out of the UFC because he's boring
Lol I pretty much don't care about these fighters but Usman is pretty boring I mean apart from clinching and footstomping and doing a whole bunch of nothing what does he do ?
or just MMA fans who dont like to go to sleep during a fight?
I mean Usman vs Masvidal or Hooker vs Poirier, what would you rather watch again?
What a talent and still getting better. I am genuinely worried for Burns.
Dont be. Burns is a fucking dog and ready to go. these men are great
Be worried for em both man. They know and train with each other, they'll know the tricks of each other the public do not

:\
most disrespected champ in the UFC currently. dude's fight style of boring but he's dominating a stacked division. most 10-8s in the UFC behind khabib and he fought some killers.
I think stipe or Jan are more disrespected they are both underdogs in their own title fights. usman certainly is hated on a lot for being boring. But so was GSP and so was Khabib people just don’t like grappling especially when it goes to decision.
@Kevin Obonyo I mostly agree with you. Stipe is more liked than usman by the people but more disrespected for his for his dominance and resume. So I’d still put stipe ahead of him.
He is the BMF champ now also Much love and respect usman He took woodleys soul Twood was never the same
